Fland, a 6-foot-3 guard, plays for Archbishop Stepinac (NY) and then PSA Cardinals on the Nike EYBL circuit. As a junior, Fland averaged 18.1 points, 4.2 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 2.0 steals per game. He shot 34.6 percent from three (62-of-179). He was recently named an Honorable Mention on the Peach Jam All-Circuit team averaging 11.5 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.5 assists per game.

“It was kind of everything from the coaching staff, to the campus, to the fan base,” Fland told HoosierIllustrated.com about his official visit last month. “They were cheering my name (during Mike Woodson’s basketball camp) and on my tour of campus, fans were driving by saying Indiana wants me.”

“Mike (Woodson) is great. He’s been around the NBA half his life but not only is he a good coach and basketball player but he is also a good person. He genuinely loves his players and he definitely could’ve stayed and worked as a head coach in the NBA but he wanted to have an impact on young men’s lives so they know what it takes to get to that next level and so that he can be apart of the process in guiding them to be the best they can be.”

HoosierIllustrated.com has seen Boogie Fland multiple times this AAU season and has be able to compile a few scouting notes on his game. 

“Because Fland can play both with and without the ball in his hands, going to a place where he can do both is ideal. Fland is a terrific scoring guard who has great explosiveness. Fland is always in attack mode and can score at all three levels on the floor. He is best with the ball in his hands and making plays for himself or teammates. Fland has a very good mid-range game and utilizes a lot of different moves in the paint to create separation and get his shot up. With good size as well, at 6-foot-4, he’s a long and rangy guard who is a very talented defender. He has the tools to be a lockdown on ball defender as well as talented off the ball defensive player.”
